If you love to cook, chances are you also have the tools needed to create delicious meals. For Reddit user Slabmir, his cooking skills must be quite popular as he and his girlfriend both received knife blocks for Christmas. The thought was great but the two pieces ended up taking up too much space on the counter.

The Canadian handyman instead chose to display his knives on a magnetic wood board. Check out his DIY. It's a lot easier than expected. Just don't be surprised when friends start to ask what time dinner is served.

Wood glue was used to secure the magnets. The mounting hardware was installed as well.
